Hi guys,

I intend to sign up for fibre optics but don't know which operators to choose..

Currently using singnet..

I check and M1 provides the lowest rate compared to other operators.

In term of reliabilty.. should i use singtel fibre?

Please advise..

Cheers!!

Guess you also missed out that they have speed cap during peak hours so that is the reason I go for M1 instead of Singtel. =:p

My experience with Singtel ADSL is stable, dunno abt fiber. One thing I don't like is that Stinktel isn't really that transparent with their charges/billing sometimes...and they always cheap out on their routers regardless of the subscribed plan...and good luck getting 3rd-party routers to work without breaking a sweat

if your current singtel adsl with their miobox works fine for you, then u can continue with their fibre, otherwise, you might want to share what other things you wish will improve with fibre.

anyway download movies as in torrent? watching online movies as in pptv?

generally better hor? only single thread file downloads sometimes slower.

recently tried my friend's m1, and was surprised I could download from gmail pop server at 9-10mbps compared to MR's 4-6mbps. that got me excited for awhile, but after looking at m1 thread, i got scared off :s13:

MR just as consistent as my previous Stinktel's ADSL, very stable so far. Web browser download speeds could be better, but at least steam download peaks @ 9.7MB/s :s12:
